Taxing decision
The prohibitive cost of the University forces many students and their families to search for many alternative means to provide the funds: scholarships, grants, student loans, parent loans, etc. But one avenue that seems logical is reducing other financial burdens on families so they can allocate more money to their child's education. One avenue through which this method is implemented is a tuition tax credit. This state provision is a $500 income-tax credit given to a family whose child attends an institution where the tuition increases fall within the rate of inflation.

Jeff Eldridge: Pondering the realization of a commonplace nightmare
Like a lot of people on this campus, I spent the past week contemplating the unsettling fate of someone I never met and someone I'll never know.
Courtney Cantor's fatal fall from a sixth-floor Markley window was a flashbulb going off in the eyes. It was almost impossible not to have an immediate reaction; turning away just leaves lingering afterthoughts.
